Panic is efficient. Panic is effective. Panic is the way I get things done! Panic attacks are my booster rockets!
Social phobia, panic disorder... I've had panic disorder ever since I was young.
I spoke to friends that have panic attacks, and I spoke to a doctor who has panic attacks, himself. I also did a bit of research into them. It seemed like everyone's version of a panic attack had slightly different physical things. So, I decided to choose my own physical things.
When I was immobilized by fear, I might have a panic attack. I've had a couple of panic attacks in my life.
I make a project and I panic. Which is good, it can be a method. First, panic. Second, conquer panic by working. Third, find ways to solve your doubts.
The only situation which might justify panic is one in which panic is likely to help. Such a situation never arises. Though pretended panic may sometimes cause a useful diversion, real panic can never be anything other than a waste of energy.
I went to Columbia University because they were doing a study on people who suffered from panic attacks, and because I suffered from panic attacks my whole life, I decided to be a part of it. They had this questionnaire where they asked, How many units of alcohol do you have in a month? The top answer was 40 or more, and I got really scared because I was having on average 60 or 70 drinks a week. And I realized that that was a bad sign.
[I had a sense of interior panic].Always. I didn't really know what to call it for a long time, but I have a friend in Greece who used that word panic a lot, and I found myself resisting it, until I totally accepted that as a precise description of my interior condition. It was mostly panic from one moment to the next. And nothing much else was going on.
I think that I don't panic as much as the folks on the left or the right do. I don't have that sense of panic.
There's no panic like the panic you momentarily feel when your hand or head is stuck in something.
If you're tearing around in a panic about something, then it puts everyone else in a panic as well.
How can you have a reasonable debate with people who are constantly changing the panic? They are moving the panic to a greater wave of hysteria?
Fame made me develop a panic disorder.
Generals don't panic; then the troops never panic.
I've had paranoid panic attacks.
